Version 0.24: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
An unholy crossbow, forged in the fires of Gehenna. It imbues the bolts it fires with the raw power of its namesake, causing a burst of damnation on impact irresistible by any mortal armour.

Desirability

Damnation's base enchantment is decent, and those who have the appropriate skill may occasionally want this. Bear in mind that the damnation explosions it generates are significantly louder than normal crossbow shots, so expect to wake up nearby foes. In addition, this weapon mulches every bolt, so you may run out of bolts quickly unless you already have hundreds of bolts or follow Trog or Okawaru.

Damnation can be found in many Gehenna:7 vaults, but may also be generated randomly.
